In many cases, its difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by going over technical specs. The visual underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S8600 and S9100.
As you can tell, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Fujifilm S8600 to deliver more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm S8600 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
